The Olympic flame that will burn during the 2016 Rio Summer Olympic Games was lit at the birthplace of the ancient Olympics.
將在2016年里約夏季奧運會上燃燒的奧運圣火在古代奧運會的誕生地被點燃。

21日，2016年里約奧運會的奧運圣火(the Olympic flame)在希臘古奧林匹亞(Ancient Olympia in Greece)采集成功。希臘著名女演員卡特里林娜·勒侯扮演最高女祭司(famous Greek actress Katerina Lechou dressed as an Ancient Greek High Priestess)，她站在赫拉神廟廢墟(the ruins of the Temple of Hera)前，用一個凹面鏡聚焦太陽光線成功點燃火炬(use a concave mirror to focus the sun's rays and light the torch)。

希臘總統帕夫洛普洛斯、國際奧委會主席(the president of the International Olympic Committee)巴赫、里約奧組委主席(the president of the Organizing Committee of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games)努茲曼等約3000名代表出席了奧運圣火采集儀式(the lighting ceremony of the Olympic flame)。

接下來，圣火將在希臘境內進行為期6天、全程2235公里的傳遞，450名火炬手將參與火炬接力(450 torchbearers will participate in the torch relay)，其中包括一名敘利亞難民(including a Syrian refugee)。27日，神圣的火種將被正式移交給里約的奧運會組織者(the sacred flame will be delivered to the Rio Games organizers)。圣火離開希臘后，將先在位于瑞士洛桑的奧林匹克博物館展示到5月2日，之后運到巴西。巴西的奧運火炬傳遞將于5月3日從巴西首都巴西利亞開始。
